The Great Warriors

After a long day of work I finally made it back home. Reviewing my students' homework is taking more time than I thought it would, I should leave them a lot less time if I want to continue working for Adelis. Tomorrow I don't have to teach so I will go to the office to help with their paperwork.

I went to the kitchen and prepared a light salad to eat something to eat before training a little and then take a bath to go to sleep. But while I was still cutting some fruit, the house phone started ringing. Hardly anyone has my number, so if someone calls it's usually a big deal, so I answered immediately.

"I am very happy for you Xi'an"
"I am proud to know that my little daughter has finally succeeded in her first ghost hunt"
"Tell me how did it feel? Did you find it exciting?"
"Wouldn't you like to do more all the time?"
"If you want you can go back to the village and continue with ......"

"Mom, I already told you, I'm not going back."
"I'm not going to marry him"
"Just leave me alone"

"But he's such a good person"
"And he has so much money"
"He recently built a building called Clarice in your honor"

"Ok"
"If you'll excuse me, I have nothing to do, so I'm hanging up now."
"See you later"

"Wait!"
"That's not why I wanted to call you"
"This is different!"
"The onmyoji association in Japan called me to let me know about your ghost hunting that day"
"They would have been very happy if you had warned them in advance"

"The onmyoji? How did they realize what I did?"
"Wait, why did they talk to you first and not me?"

"The haunted house was already marked for investigation for them, but when they went to check it, there was nothing"
"But when they went to check it out there was nothing there."
"Then they checked the security cameras and that is where you showed up"
"Regarding the information, well"
"Come on, even though we are different, our goals are the same."
"It is normal to cooperate with each other."
"They called me first since they don't have your number"
"...."
"They also want to see about the girls who were with you"
"They would like to know if they have potential, you know, to have more agents."

"No!"
"They are normal students"
"...."
"Remember when I told you that I now have a second job at a school?"
"Well, I'm supervising the occult club or something."
"The girls just wanted to film a couple of scary videos and show them at the school fair."
"But in the end it turned out that the ghost was real and I had to step in."
"Don't bring her into this!"
"MY JOB DEPENDS ON IT!"

"Well, I'll pass the information on to them"
"But the truth is, you know that won't stop them from investigating on their own"
"Just keep your eyes open and everything will be fine"

"Well, I'll see you later, my salad is burning"
"I already sent you the money, I can't send you any more for now"
"Please stop gambling, I don't want to find out that you sold another relic to the money lenders"

"Wait a moment, I still have more news"
"And this is important news!"
"It seems that Cacique has been recorded hunting for the first time in your territory"
"The Vatican itself called us to warn us."
"Didn't your boss go there on vacation?"

"Yes, but I haven't had much time to talk to her lately."
"What is Cacique? What does that mean?"

"Don't you know what Cacique is?"
"You know, one of the great warriors?"
"The first of them? The unknown one?"

"No, this is my first time hearing that word"

"...."
"Ok ok, I can correct this mistake"
"It is important that you learn it even if you are not an official monster hunter"
"Here is the summary"
"...."
"In the world there are several individuals"
"The vast majority of them come from families of great warriors"
"Generations and generations of the most powerful warriors that have ever existed on earth"
"Higlander, the free warrior"
"Gladiator, the professional warrior"
"Gurka, the mercenary warrior"
"Hunter, warrior devoted to eradicate evil, the  family bane of Dracula"
"Centurion, Warrior of the noble family, his origin comes from ancient Rome, now protector of the pope"
"The head of each family is the one who obtains this title of power. They have the respect and loyalty of the governments in their territories" "They have the power to back up their decisions"
"But there are three more who are different, they do not come from families"
"The Contender, a street fighter looking for a worthy battle"
"Samurai, the warrior loyal to her ideals, newborn great warrior, Divine providence announced her arrival just the last month"
"And lastly Cacique, the ruler, the first, the ancient one"
"Unlike all the others, this last one has been around since the dawn of mankind"
"His title had never been transferred, and his name simply appeared alongside the others"
"His very existence was that of a legend"
"He was believed to be some neutral entity"
"Until last week it was reported not only that he is currently alive, but also that he is hunting"
"No one knows what he was hunting or why"
"The truth is no one even knows who he might be"
"But his power has never been denied or has seen"
"...."
"His appearance has made everyone nervous"
"Right now everyone is moving to try to find out who he might be and what his objective is"
"Perhaps the fate of humanity depends on he joining our side at any cost, for there are those who believe that he is in fact the world's executioner, and his surprise move is a sign of  a big change in the future"

"If no one has seen him and they do not know his power"
"Why are they so afraid of him?"

"Because he already has the title of annihilator of civilization and  exterminator of the powerful "

"Really?"
"And which one do he eradicate?"

"That's the worst part, it doesn't say which"
"It must have been a pretty important to be worthy of the title, but at the same time the level of destruction so great that no remains have ever been discovered by humans"
"Along with whatever his second title means"
"What kind of monster do you think can come out of something like that?"

"Ok, yes, that's bad news then"

"Be careful and never underestimate anyone"
"Anything could be this hidden monster"

My mother hung up the phone shortly thereafter. No doubt this threat must have been serious so that she would forget about it and not insist on coming back a second time before I hung up on her. But who could this Cacique be, and why did he show up until last week? What motivated him to such action? And why didn't he intervene in more important matters such as the continental war? Wasn't it his problem until whatever happened until recently.
